Eject: the Last Rewind (eject: el Último rebobinado)
In the closure of the city’s last video rental stores, this short documentary finds its starting point to reflect on urban gentrification and the changing habits of consumption. Through disappearing spaces and the people who once inhabited them, the film connects the loss of these places with the transformation of the audiovisual medium and the arrival of artificial intelligence, used as a metaphor for an unstoppable technological change that redefines the way we live, consume, and relate to culture, leaving open the question of what is lost along the way.

The intention of LUCID was to explore the proliferation of digital media that has cultivated an era where the lines between reality and fiction are increasingly blurred. Though we turn to social media to connect, it ultimately estranges us from ourselves and others and to reality itself. The purpose of LUCID is to allegorically represent this disconnect through the medium of lucid dreaming in order to expose the disintegration of the authentic self within a hypermediated world. My film would be suited to audiences who have a suspicion that the contours of existence extend beyond the dimensions of an iPhone screen, who are painfully aware that we are, in the words of Postman, “amusing ourselves to death.”
